Yeah, I know. The news said that just about everyone is getting hit by Polar Vortex Part Deux. The 4" or so we are supposed to get tonight will actually be a blessing because it will add to what we already have on the ground to help insulate the ground, keep the septic from freezing up (that's always a good time) and protect the well pipes. Feel sorry for the town folks. This will almost guarantee the water mains will freeze up again this year before spring. The drip order has already has been issued for city to our north. That never happens in January.
unfortunately, they will probably just start eating cereal, and only cereal.

My mom was the same waytntchix - surprised we never met under the chairon pressure cooker days. Of course I am much older then you. You probably weren't born when I was hiding. I'm too fluffy(yah, that's it) to fit under a chair now. I remember when my mother took the top off and steam & stuff shot up to the ceiling. I guess my mom was pretty brave or ditzy because none of that ever scared her.
She used to broil steak for my dad and managed flames that scorched our HIGH kitchen cabinets. This happened three times in one month - the firemen always told her to spread salt and close the broiler so no air would feed the flames. IS it any wonder I have never broiled anything and never will. The last time, she told me to get grandma out of the house - it was freezing outside and grandma didn't want to go. Once I got out there, I worried that my mom stayed inside & our Java rice bird Muffy. That was another of the minor things that helped shape my personality. I won't even go into the major stuff.
Ugh I know, I am on the keep fixin it wagon over here, but sometimes they just are made to be unfixable and probably made to break at a certain point.
well, at least they wouldn't be nuking it.
